About this map

Greer and the textile-driven communities of the Upstate are captured here during a period of transition in the early 1980s. The landscape is defined by the industrial presence of Victor Mills and the nearby mill village of Apalache, while the dual tracks of the Southern Railway and Seaboard Coast Line emphasize the region's historic role as a transportation corridor. To the south, the expansion of the Greenville-Spartanburg Airport and the Duncan Correctional Center reflect the modern infrastructure developments of the era.

Water plays a central role in the topography, with the Middle Tyger River and South Tyger River flowing through the terrain, the latter feeding into Lake Lyman. For those tracing local heritage, the map identifies numerous country churches and burial grounds, including Washington Cem, Woods Chapel, and Mayfield Chapel. This detailed survey offers a view of the corridor between Lyman and Duncan before the significant suburban growth of subsequent decades.
